EU Regulations Spur Change: Global Demand for Food Contact Paper Packaging Continues to Rise
With the advancement of the EU's Sustainable Product Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) framework and the strengthening of restrictions on single-use plastics in major global markets, the demand for food-grade paper packaging alternatives is experiencing explosive growth. Market research shows that the global food paper packaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% by 2027. This presents a clear structural opportunity for Chinese food carton manufacturers and exporters with FDA and LFGB certification capabilities. In the future, biodegradable, oil- and water-resistant high-performance pulp molding products will become the focus of competition.
